ABOUT THE ROLE


Our Care Assistants make a real difference to our residents every day; whether it's supporting them with their daily routines or personal care, providing companionship or joining in with the vast array of fun activities that take place in our homes, you'll play a vital role in ensuring they are leading happy and fulfilled lives.

You understand that some days might be challenging, but you'll also laugh, have fun and make lasting memories with our residents.

In joining us, you'll also become part of our extended family.

You'll work alongside other team members who are passionate about providing care, warmth and kindness to all those who live and work in our homes.


If these shift / hours do not suit you, we can also offer hours on a casual basis that give you flexibility and work life balance.

Simply let us know what you are looking for when you apply. If you've worked in retail, hospitality or within the warehouse industry then this could be suitable for you.

Goodson Lodge is situated in the historic county town of Trowbridge. This purpose-built care home has been created with our residents in mind. The home provides 24-hour specialist person-centred dementia care, residential care and respite care.


AND IN RETURN


The Trust is a great place to work; we've been providing care for almost 1,000 years and we're currently the second largest not-for-profit provider in the UK.

Not-for-profit means that we reinvest every penny we make into our residents, colleagues and the care homes we live and work in.

Therefore, we offer a great range of benefits, including a competitive salary, training and development.

Here are some of the other benefits you'll enjoy as a valued member of our team:

  • 28 days holiday (including Bank Holidays)
  • Higher rates of pay at weekends
  • Workplace pension
  • Company sick pay (after probation)
  • Life assurance
  • Comprehensive induction, ongoing training and development
  • Free uniform
  • Free DBS
  • Free car parking
  • Refer a Friend scheme rewarding you up to £1000 for every recommendation you make who successfully starts working for us
  • Access to our Employee Assistance programme
  • Care Worker Charity membership for well being and financial aid
  • Blue Light Card and "My Rewards" programme, offering you discounts on shopping, days out, restaurants and much more

ABOUT YOU
If you've worked in care before, then that's great as you'll have a good idea of what to expect.

But if care as a profession is new to you, then don't worry - we'll provide all the training you need to start your care journey with us, all delivered in a nurturing, engaging and rewarding environment.


What's more important to us is that you're good at communicating with people, you enjoy working as part of a team, you'll be keen to learn and will want to excel at your job every day.
